Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, a firebrand House progressive, appears to be eyeing a Senate run in the Lone Star state and may announce her candidacy as soon as Monday.
Crockett has scheduled a “special announcement” in Dallas on Monday at 4:30 p.m. Central Time—the day of the filing deadline to run for the United States Senate. In a recent interview with MS NOW, Crockett said, “The data says that I can win” and “I am closer to ‘yes’ than I am ‘no’” when it comes to running for Senate.
Crockett’s remarks to MS NOW were in response to a question about a September poll from the University of Houston and Texas Southern University that had the progressive firebrand leading a list of potential Democrat primary candidates with 31% support.
In the Democrat primary, state Rep. James Talarico and former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred have already entered the race.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, an incumbent of over two decades, is up for reelection in 2026 and is facing primary challenges from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas.
Crockett, 44, is originally from Missouri, and later moved to Texas, where she practiced law. She has served in the House of Representatives since 2021, building a reputation as a firebrand after a viral verbal spat with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
The Texas congresswoman has also made a name for herself with controversial statements.
In 2024, for example, she delivered an impassioned response to Republicans’ opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring practices in a House committee hearing, telling them, “There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which White men were dragged out of their homes.”
Crockett added, “Don’t let it escape you that it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y’all are the ones being oppressed, that y’all are the ones that are being harmed. That’s not the definition of oppression.”
In 2025, she referred to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, who is wheelchair-bound, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”
The Daily Signal reached out to Crockett’s office but did not receive a comment.
The 2026 Texas Senate primaries for both parties will take place on March 3, 2026—in roughly three months. If no candidate receives over 50% of the vote in either of the primaries, a runoff election will be triggered on May 26, in which the top two candidates in a primary would face off.
